Commander Shangjia Ren was unaware of what was happening on Puevert Street. If he had known, he might have surrendered his military command to join Jerome Bonaparte.
The internal conflict within the Order Party had never stopped; it had remained largely within a broad framework, but this framework was about to crumble because of the Count of Chambord.
Returning to the barracks from Puevert Street, Commander Shangjia Ren, using the title of Garrison Commander of Seine Province, gathered all the regimental commanders (National Guard) and brigade commanders (Field Army) of the Paris Guard for a meeting.
The majority of the National Guard regimental commanders obeyed Shangjia Ren's order to come to the barracks, but from the Field Army, only Paris First Brigade's Major General Norman was present. Major General Conrobel of the Second Brigade and Major General Pello of the Third Brigade were nowhere to be found.
